Waymo proposed $1B Uber settlement with public apology in car lawsuit
- philiphodgen 9y agoWe don’t know — because we are not there — but my guess? It’s a Cal Code Civ Proc Section 988 offer. Waymo makes a settlement offer of $1B. Uber rejects it. They go to trial. If Waymo does better than $1B at trial, then Uber pays Waymo’s legal fees. This is a way to increase the risk on your opponent. Uber may or may not care about the additional financial risk, if indeed Waymo pushed the Section 988 button.
- Simulacra 9y agoDoes it feel like Waymo is behaving as the 800 pound bully? I can't shake the feeling that Google is trying to beat Uber into the ground.
